A temp sensor and an oil pressure sensor along with the needed hardware and harness to install them are an optional
accessory package (SEN-24-1) for the gauge. These provide additional gauge functions that are not included on the stock
RZR gauge. If this sensor pack is installed, the display of these gauge values needs to be enabled. To do so, enter the
setup menu and select the “
” menu. Then select the “
TEMP OIL
” option and change the setting from “
” to
“
”.
ENGINE CODE READOUT
As with the stock gauge, the UTV-1500 provides a readout of engine codes when the key is cycled from off-on-off-on-off-
on. Engine codes will flash on the check engine light and the message center will display “
” until a complete engine
code is received. Each received code number will then be displayed in the message center. When the end of the engine
code list is reached, “
” will be displayed. If no engine codes are available, “” will be displayed right away.
FUEL GAUGE
This gauge has two fuel gauge displays. The primary display is a bar graph along the bottom of the gauge. This displays
the fuel level relatively between empty and full. The second is a percentage of full reading accessed in the message
center using the switch. At a reading of approximately %10 the fuel bar will begin to flash as a warning. Also the percent
full reading will be displayed in the message center. Pressing the switch will allow the message center to return to other
displays. The fuel bar will continue to flash until fuel is added. For some applications, there is no fuel sender and so there
is no fuel gauge data available. For these applications, the fuel gauge display can be disabled using the “
FUEL
”
option in setup.
DIAG MENU
Some diagnostic options are available in the setup routine to allow checking certain inputs to the gauge. The “
” option
will display the resistance in ohms seen at the gear sender input. This can be used to troubleshoot problems with the gear
sender. The “
” option provides a readout of the current flowing in the 4x4 coil in amps. This can be used to
troubleshoot problems with the 4x4 coil wiring and dashboard switch. Refer to the vehicle’s service manual for
troubleshooting guidance.
